殖民地時期台灣勞工抗爭史

本文旨在利用殖民地時期的新聞紙材料，輔以參與者的回憶錄以及相關研究，重新建構當年台灣工運的發展進程。藉由這批新的工運史料，希望能在《警察沿革誌》的殖民者官方視角以外，找到兼具「反殖民」與「勞工本位」的另外一種歷史敘事。在敘事層次的安排上，本文承襲自當年《臺灣民報》上，台灣先賢所採用的工運歷史分期方法，並加以些微修正——將高雄台灣鐵工所罷工引起的工運浪潮稱為勞工運動的「黎明期」（-1927），鐵工所罷工以後直到高雄淺野洋灰工廠大罷工告一段落則稱為「成熟期」（1927-1929），後續國家機器鎮暴加劇以來直到作為殖民地時期工運主幹的台灣工友總聯盟消失的那段時間，稱之為「受難期」（1930-1939）。這樣歷時性的敘事方法，為的是重新找回《警察沿革誌》當中失落了的工運事件與事件之間的因果關係，從而嘗試對當年勞工運動中的重要事件作出更深入的理解與說明。

The proposal is intended to reconstruct the developing course of labor movement in Taiwan during the Japanese colonial times. By use of the materials of newspapers, memoirs of the involved and correlational studies, a historical narrative of labor movement differ from History of Taiwan Social Movement(台灣社會運動史／警察沿革誌) with perspectives of both anti-colonial and worker-central is expected. To arrange the narrative sequence, labor organizers’ theory of historical periods published on Taiwan Minpow(台灣民報) is deployed with partially revised. Therefore, times of the huge wave of labor movement caused by the strike of Taiwan Ironworks(台灣鐵工所) in Kaohsiung(高雄) is referred to the “Dawn Period(黎明期)” (-1927), times between the Taiwan Ironworks strike and the Asano Cement(淺野洋灰) factory strike in Kaohsiung is referred to the “Mellow Period(成熟期)”(1927-1929), finally, times after Asano Cement strike while the state machine violentized and the strongest labor organization Taiwan Worker League(台灣工友總聯盟) gradually dismissed is referred to the “Distress Period(受難期)”. With respect to the History of Taiwan Social Movement, Reconstructing the historical narrative chronically is helpful to rediscover the lost causal connection between specific labor movement events, also for a deeper comprehension of the past.
